Week 9 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, The Inconvenient Time Traveler

He'd be my number one, which is gross. But this is the world we live in. What about you, Andy? Who would be your number one of this group of mediocre wide receivers? Yeah, I mean, I probably, the way that I play, I probably have the mindset of going to try to hit a home run with a Hardman or a Conley or Stills. I'm looking at a big play. I want a difference maker. I'm not trying to buy two catches.

It's what would dissuade me in a non-full PPR from a Beasley or an Amandola. Brooks, can we get an advanced copy of all the deadline moves real quick? An advanced copy. Yeah, just everything that's going to happen before the deadline. How are your time traveling skills? I'll get back to you on that. I bet you're going to wait until about like 4 Eastern. Maybe. The nice thing about time travel is.

Even if it takes him years. The nice thing about time travel. Well, even if it takes him years to figure it out, we'll never know. Right. It'll be pretty much. Now. Did you do it? Are you talking about that big trade where Love went to the Steelers? Oh, man. I can't believe they gave up doo-doo. So those nuts. By the way, in the article, the teams highlighted Texans chiefs bills. Here's the thing that's kind of interesting, too. As a fantasy owner, you've got to start getting your mindset.

to go two directions here. Because your brain also go... Time Montgomery. Yes. Doesn't your brain go right to... I mean, if Lev Bell's moving, you've got to be thinking about... Time Montgomery would be the number one waiver pickup. Absolutely. Yeah, that's why I was bringing up the rumors, because people need to know how we think about Time Montgomery. And it's... I would be crazy interesting. He'd pretty much be almost all my fab. Yeah. You know, I save a couple dollars no matter what for the playoffs.

but almost all my fab and definitely the first waiver priority if that were to happen by tomorrow. Yeah, I think that that's actual, that's a nice prescription we can actually give, which is we don't know where Lev's going if he's going. But if he goes and you, you're listening to this anytime on Tuesday, you've got time to put in a bid for time Montgomery. But I just did time travel and it's very unspricably. I didn't even see you leave. Yeah, well, that's the thing about time travel. And he didn't, he doesn't get traded. So there's that.

I should have come back like 10 minutes prior. Yeah, you could have just stopped this whole discussion. But my bad. Thanks, Jay. The inconvenient time traffler. That's his name. That's the name of my autobiography. To tell people what's going to happen, but 30 seconds too late. You're going to fall out the wind. Oh, man. I knew it, though. Called it. Called it. And that's what he said. That's your catchphrase.

All right, running backs. Running back waiver pickups. We said time Montgomery. I hear Al Borland just cackling over there. He's very tickled. Look out for the piano. Called it. I love the catchphrase. Got to have a good catchphrase. The number one running back situation here is based on the trade that did happen, which is Kenyon Drake leaving going to Arizona.

This opens up things for Mark Walton. We saw that last night. He looked okay until the fumble. But obviously, Kenyon Drake for this week on a short week in a bad matchup. Would you rather spend your waiver priority on Drake this week in a bad matchup against, and I do mean, I want to stress this. Bad matchup. Do you like that more than taking a shot at Jalen Samuels and a Connor injury? I'm not into Drake at all.

We don't know the health of David Johnson. He is day to day. We don't expect him this week, but is he back next week? And the schedule of San Francisco, Tampa Bay, San Francisco by week, I'm... Yeah, what are you actually going to get? I'm not interested in...

in Drake at all. I'll let someone else waste the fad or the priority to grab him. He's only available in 39% of league. So, you know, for most people, it's, it's moot anyways. And I get the spot start out there. Who's a spot start for fantasy owners? We talk about, you know, you got to buy wins right now. Jamal Williams, 62% own. Yes, he's, he's been, you know, getting enough carries and this is a matchup against the Chargers that we have just loved all season for.

Bangor running backs. They don't have the personnel to stop them. So Jamal Williams is a decent spot start for sure. Look, I may sit on an island, but I've been sitting there for three weeks. Adrian Peterson is startable in all formats. If you need a spot start at running back. He said three consecutive good games. Buffalo just got ran on by Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders. Sure. And if you give Peterson enough carries.

You will probably get enough. Last week 14 for 76. You could do worse. You could be in the Ty Johnson category of doing worse. You could do worse with Jamal Williams. I mean, I would rather have Adrian P. Give me the one guy that's on waivers who is the clear starting running back for a team that wants to run and will even if the game script says they shouldn't. And this is your last shot with him, probably. Because if guys is coming back in week 11, this is your one game before the buy.

that you could probably start Adrian Peterson. Look, you could do a lot better, but there's a lot of injuries. There's a lot of problems on teams, and guaranteed carries mean a lot. We need to know the injury status of Matt Breda, but Rahim Mostert against Arizona is 100% in play. Oh, yeah. If Breed is out. He's a must start. Oh, yes. The colonel. Yeah, I see what you did there. And I like that. The colonel returned. No, this matchup for Mostert last week, once again, classic.

Colonel Mustard. Nine for 60 in a touchdown. He's electric, man. He can make a big play. It is wild. How do they not get him on the field more? I think they do. I mean, you saw plays. There were a number of times that they had two players on the field. But I mean, Tevin Coleman had 13 touches. I'm just, he gets touches when. That's pretty good. Because Berita left the game. I'm saying when, and then my name's Jeff left as well. Well, then Tevin Coleman actually, he was not really used at the end of that game much. It's just, it.

It's crazy. He seems like he's such a valuable player that you want to at least give him a handful of touches. Yeah, in weeks two and three, those were, wasn't Breed out for those games? Yeah, there was, there was injuries involved. 13 carries and 12 carries. Oh, Coleman was out. I'm sorry. You go back a couple weeks against Washington. He didn't touch the ball at all. There was. There's a risk. Yeah, there's a risk. But if he, if, if, if Breed is out, then yes. Yeah, then he's going to be a good. The only three guys that I feel like I would spend up on. The only three guys that I would say I'm.

They're worth actually not just making a one or two dollar bid, but burning priority or, you know, or something like that would be Adrian Peterson, Jalen Samuels, and Mark Walton. We kind of glossed over Mark Walton, but he is a starting running back now for the rest of the season. It's not like an injury and this guy's going to come back or hopefully James Conner's out or David Johnson's gone for a while. He's the starter the rest of the season. If you need a spot start against the New York Jets this week, they don't have C.J. Mosley.

They just traded names escaping me. Their defensive lineman. Leonard Williams. Thank you. So, I mean, Mark Walton is set up here for a little bit of success. They're at home as well. Man. Yeah. Do you believe Dubai in? I'm just thinking more about this Love Bell situation and just how ridiculous things have gotten in New York. That's all. I mean, they're shipping out Leonard Williams. They're going to ship out Love Bell. They've talked about getting rid of Robbie Anderson.

You know, Bilal Powell had four carries on Sunday. Yeah, that's worth mentioning. Adam Gays is it. He's just, he's a ringmaster. Like, he just running, but his circus is only clowns. That's it? Yeah, there's no animals. You show up and you're waiting for all of the elephants and bears and lions. And now more clowns. Oh, gosh. And there are all the sad clowns too. They're just a sad. Is Matt and Aggie buying a ticket to that circus? Pretty soon.

Goodness. He's reading up looking into it. All right. Anybody else you want to touch on at the running back position? Well, it's, it is handcuffed season. If you have Dalvin Cook and you've just been waiting and waiting, stop it. Stop it. Alexander Madison should be on your bench. Tony Pollard. Those are the two really important ones. Wayne Galman. You, you're going to prioritize them if you have. If you have Sequin, I am. Yeah, there, there's players that.

you need the starter to have the handcuff. Like if you're the Sequin owner, you have Wayne Galman. But Tony Pollard and more importantly, Alexander Madison. Like these are guys that should be owned in 100% of leagues. They're available in the vast majority of leagues still. If something happens, they win your league. You don't need to have Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliott to go grab those guys. Agreed them on your team. Yeah. All right. Tight in pickups.

There's some interesting streaming options. Yeah, this is actually a decent week for tight-in pickups. Starting with, I think the big ones, Jono Smith, Chris Herndon. Herndon could return, and if he does, it's against Miami. If he doesn't, he gets to go up against the Giants and then Washington. Herndon needs to be owned in 100% of leagues. And now the dump-off passes are going to be there with Lev Bell out of the way. I thought you said he wasn't traded.

Yeah, you're a really crappy time traveler. This is, this is, I'm in the original timeline now. Oh, okay. That other me is gone. Call it. The alternate in 1985. Yeah. Uh, Jono Smith 19% own last week, six for 78 and a touchdown. The thing that I like about Jonah Smith is Ryan Tannehill. Mm-hmm. It makes a huge difference. And Tannahill likes to throw the ball to his tight end. Uh, if you, if you remember long ago.

If you take the time traveling machine once again, he made Charles Clay a top 10 tight in two times in Miami. Man, I forgot all about it. I'm crazy and I'm not. I remember now. It's 100% true. My goodness. I can only remember Mr. Necessary in Buffalo. No, Charles Clay was a legit tight in. I believe he had a top five finish with Ryan Tennehill. What? And the thing is, you got to remember Jarvis. You forget yourself. Jarvis Landry.

who was Mr. Slot guy hyper-targeted in Miami. He wears number 80. And I think that's confusing for a quarterback. He's like, is this by tight-in? Jono Smith, 81. He's just looking at the numbers here. Joni's slightly larger. Even better. I see him. Those numbers are bigger. I don't want to touch Tampa tight-ins. The O.J. Howard in here is throwing up the X, the block. So the O.J. Howard thing.

Can you use your time machine? Did OJ Howard get traded? That's what I was going to bring up. You know, Tampa came out and said they're only going to trade him for a haul, which is still saying they're willing to trade him. Right. Now, this is news that we need to at least cover the potential of because it's been rumored. If he were to be traded, he would be my number one tight-in pickup because nobody's trading for him.

to not utilize him in the fashion he should be. Oh, I would, I would not be in the same camp. So if the Patriots, I would pick up Herndon or Joni Smith. And you, so the Patriots grab O.J. Howard, one of the best prospects that tied in and forever, you would rather have Jono Smith or Chris Herndon? I'd rather have Herndon. Wow. I understand the argument against Johnny Smith because his time is limited. But Herndon should be a, he should be a top 12 tight end rest of the season as soon as he's back. Is this win, but wins are going to be back?

Well, he almost played last week. He almost played last week to the degree that they put him at doubtful for a couple of days before they declared him out. So it tells me he's making progress. And we saw Ryan Griffin. I'm not going to just buy into the automatic. Look, you join the Patriots. You're amazing. That doesn't work for every single player, every single wide receiver. It's not going to work for Muhammad Sanoo most likely.

And I don't know if it works for OJ Howard. OJ. Howard has had problems with drops. He's going to have problems with the system. They have Watson. They have I think Jason's point, though, is if they acquire OJ. Howard, it's going to take a first round pick. It doesn't matter. More than that. The one thing about the Patriots, yes, maybe eventually. But the thing about the Patriots is they don't come in here and go, wow, we spend a first round pick on you, and you're the centerpiece of our offense. They say you come in and help us go undefeat it. And that could mean two catches.

So this is my take on it. I think Hernin's a better player. That being said, I don't love Brate even if Howard leaves. If you look at the last like nine or ten games that OJ Howard has missed where Cameron Brate's been there, every single stat line looks like this. Three for 32. The question is just whether or not. Whether he gets a touchdown. Yeah. Two for 24, two for 28. And it touched him. And it touched him or not a touchdown. All right. So where do you like? I like Fells more.

And it's going to bring up Dallas Goddert, who keeps getting it done. Both him and Zach Ertz are running a whole bunch of routes, three for 22 with the score. A little bit of hesitation with D. Jacks coming back. Okay. D. Jax is never coming back. I mean, this dude. But if you've got to distribute the ball to, you know, Jeffrey, D. Jax, Ertz, Goddard.
